Date: various Location: Belfast, Maine Pizza ordered: Fresh & Healthy Website: www.harborwalkrestaurant.com/  Harborwalk Restaurant in Belfast is one of our go-to spots year-round, whether we're warming up on a snowy day or unwinding at the picnic tables with a drink after a summer stroll through town. Nestled beside the Front Street Shipyard, the restaurant blends rustic charm with a cozy, historic atmosphere that celebrates Maine’s working waterfront roots.
We’ve brought countless friends and family here, and it never disappoints. The drink menu is excellent, with a rotating selection of local Maine beers on tap and a solid cocktail list. The appetizers are always a hit - especially the Fried Fiddleheads, Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts, and Bavarian Pretzel. I personally love the black bean burger; it’s hearty, flavorful, and feels like a healthier choice (even if I usually get it with their perfectly crisp tater tots). When I’m extra hungry, the Fresh & Healthy pizza is a favorite. It's garlicky, slightly oily in all the right ways, and loaded with fresh vegetables that pack in a ton of flavor. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, and we’ve rarely had any trouble finding a seat. Harborwalk is the kind of spot that feels like home, and we’re lucky to have it nearby.

Date: 4/10/2025 Location: Freeport, Maine Pizza ordered: Italian Cheese Website: www.tuscanbrickovenbistro.com/  Tuscan Brick Oven Bistro in Freeport delivers an excellent take on Italian comfort food in a warm, welcoming setting. I ordered the Italian Cheese pizza, and it did not disappoint. The trio cheese blend was cooked to perfection - slightly browned on top for that ideal toasty finish. The sauce was packed with rich, savory flavor. The fresh basil added a vibrant note, and the thin, crisp base was very satisfying. The crust had a beautiful light char and a deep, well-developed flavor. The scoop of creamy ricotta in the center was a highlight - perfect for smearing across the slices for a luxurious finishing touch. Authentic, thoughtful, and delicious.

Timber, located beneath the Residence Inn in Bangor, is a beautifully designed restaurant that blends modern comfort with a nod to the city's rich lumber history. The space is warm and inviting, with thoughtful wood integrations throughout - from the walls and furnishings to the plates themselves. Fireplaces scattered across the interior and outdoor patio add a cozy, New England charm that elevates the dining experience.
I have so far enjoyed both the Bianca and Smoky Tomato pizzas. The Bianca, topped with roasted garlic puree, olive oil, fresh mozzarella, parmesan, sweet ricotta, and basil, was a cheesy delight. The sweet ricotta melted in my mouth, and the medley of cheeses worked perfectly together to create a rich, balanced flavor. The Smoky Tomato pizza offered a deeper, more robust profile, with a subtle smokiness layered under the sweet and savory tomato sauce. The basil pesto drizzle brought everything together beautifully. Both pies featured a thin base and a slightly fluffy, bready crust - just the right amount of crispness and chew. The service was superb - our waitress was incredibly attentive, frequently checking in to ensure everything was to our liking and refilling drinks as needed. Timber is more than just a restaurant - it's a carefully curated dining experience that honors Bangor's past while delivering excellent food in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Cappza’s Pizza in Waterville, Maine, offers a convenient dining experience with a dedicated parking lot and plenty of seating inside. While slices are available at the counter, they seemed a bit older during my visit, so I opted for a freshly made small cheese pizza.
The pizza featured a light, airy dough that gave it a nice texture, and the base had a pleasant browning on the bottom, adding a subtle crispness. The sauce was mild in flavor, keeping things simple, while the cheese, with its medium browning, was the highlight—pleasantly toasted and flavorful. Overall, Cappza’s has a bit of a chain-pizzeria feel, but it delivers a decent, no-frills slice that’s satisfying for a quick bite in town.
